At the ponds you can often meet anglers

Beautiful views of the reservoirs in Waterworks Valley. At the top is Hamptone, an old Jersey Farmhouse that is now a museum.

This road can get very wet in winter; to access it from the seafront go up past First Tower, up Mt Cochon a short way and through St Andrew's park to Rue de Trachy. This avoids the very dangerous junction at the bottom of Mt Felard.

A series of reservoirs along the valley give this road a unique feel - the sun reflecting off the water and the bird life add to the atmosphere.

Since much of this path is privately owned, this beautiful, green pond is sure to irrigate.

This is "L'île Agois", off the north coast, 750 m west of Devil's Hole. This small island was excavated in the 1950's and the 1970's. Large quantities of Iron Age pottery were found from a time when the island was probably still connected to mainland Jersey. The hollow remains of 27 circular huts and 2 rectangular buildings were found on the slopes and summit. the site might have included a small community of hermit monks. Source: prehistoricjersey.net

The reservoir has a natural wealth of flora and fauna and is home to many species of birds and wildlife. Owls are also particularly encouraged at the reservoir – see if you can spot their nesting boxes. An arboretum has also been created at the reservoir. This garden devoted to trees provides a lush and safe environment for wildlife. Source: jerseywater.je

The reservoir was constructed in 1962 and is the second largest reservoir in Jersey (Queen’s Valley is the largest). The reservoir holds up to 938.7 megalitres of untreated water (enough to supply Jersey with water for approximately five weeks). Water feeds into the reservoir from its catchment area of 350 hectares (865 acres) which extends towards St Ouen’s Parish Hall in the North and La Grande Route de St Pierre in the East. Water is also pumped to Val de La Mare from the desalination plant when it is in operation. The reservoir has a floating reservoir mixer “ResMix” to improve and maintain water quality. It works by slowly mixing and circulating oxygen-rich water from the surface to the bottom of the reservoir. Installed in 2016 it is a very efficient and cost-effective system which helps to reduce and control algae and manganese levels in the untreated water. Source: jerseywater.je
